Happy Valentines (Belated)

Sooooo, I should have shared this card with you yesterday, but pretty much just fell asleep when I got in from work, and then never quite found the energy to pick up my laptop, so I would like to wish everyone a late Happy Valentines Day!

This is the card I made for my hubby:

I used a digi from Digistamp Boutique and coloured it in with promarkers and spectrum noirs. How cute are these two elephants together - perfect for a loved up valentines card.

I then cut the image to a rectangle and layered this onto some red card.

I then stamped a heart I love you sentiment in red. Unfortunately, I made a couple of smudges with the ink on the card. I craftily managed to cover these up with some shiny red hearts from my craft stash. You'd never be able to tell would you?

I fear this may be it for my craft sharing this weekend as I have the nieces staying with me, so I can't get into my craft room. Next week, I will try my best to make it into the craft room and get on with some work.

About Me

Hello, my name is Holly and I live in Yorkshire, UK, where it generally rains and does not much else, but that gives me plenty of time to sit indoors and craft. I have been making cards for about a year now and I soon moved onto sewing and trying other crafts too.

It started as something to keep me occupied while the hubby (or fiance as he was at the time) watched football (soccer to anyone in the US) and it became a bit of an obsession, so much so that my spare room is now my sewing studio and I no longer have to sit at the kitchen table.

My other hobbies include tap dancing, following MotoGP and reading. I am also studying with the Open University for my history degree and am in my final year.

I sometimes wonder how I find time to do all this, and see my friends, as by day I work for a solicitors' firm in Leeds.
